Kids sitting in the shopping cart seat warning!

LdyBugz — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 01:09:06 GMT

A friend was telling me a story today that she heard about a mom that put her toddler in the seat of the shopping cart at a grocery store. Shortly after she started to shop, the child started crying and kept trying to get out of the seat. When he wouldn't stop the hysterical crying, the mom finally picked him up. He was only wearing shorts, and apparently whatever the store used to disinfect the cart was burning his little legs! Poor thing!!!

Please pass this info along to any moms so they are aware and can keep the kiddos safe!

@LdyBugz : I was just saying to DH that all these industrial strength chemicals that are being sprayed everywhere are going to start causing big problems. Imagine if that stuff can irritate sensitive skin imagine what it can do to lungs (especially the poor employees whose jobs entail doing this all day).

I would have realized something was wrong!

Poor little guy

@patbz Yes, time will tell what impact all this stuff will have on people. I know they have sprayed all of the offices at work with heaven knows what. We all have been teleworking since mid-March and have the option to permanently stay as a teleworker, which I am going to do. I do have to go in though to get all of my personal stuff. What I do bring home will get a wipe down with something not so toxic.

@on the bay I know! So sad, and scarey! I hope he didn't touch his little eyes if it was on his hands, too! 😥

@LdyBugz -

ooo yes, I didn't think about the eyes.

It must have been still wet.

I told my daughter about it, so thank you cause I don't think I would have thought about that.

Speaking of stuff like that,

I have some non-toxic bug spray I got last year but my little grandson I think touched the bottle and his eyes started to hurt. That is what we think happened. Either that or his sandbox. I splashed water in his eye, but read the bottle and it did say keep away from eyes! I don't think that is what I would think of as non-toxic but I guess you could say that about lemons in your eye!

Anyway that bottle is out of reach and now we'll know.

@on the bay It's next to impossible to protect the kiddos from everything! I had something similar happen to my granddauughter. I put what I thought was a good brand of sunscreen on her. Low and behold she got it on on her fingers and then in her eyes! I felt so bad! 😞

@LdyBugz

Thank you for sharing. I will pass this along to my niece who has a young child, although, she uses the cover for the seat in the cart.

Today, on a personal note: I appreciate Publix has someone spray sanitizer & wipe down seat area & the handle. I told the young kid today "you need to wring out the rag this is really wet". He looked at me like I had 2 heads. I asked him for paper towel to dry it off -- with this he looked puzzled🤷‍♀️

The carts are literally dripping water and seat area is wet. Since the young man didn't quite understand I was going mentioned to CS manager (I know) and ironically, the lady before me was discussing same issue.

WM now is using a "sprayer" and what a mess this is -- the clerk does this when you take a cart. This is appreciated but stand back or you're "sanitized" too😉.

I now have a stash of folded paper towels to dry the cart in my pocketbook beside my own wipes.

Putting a child directly into a grocery store cart is gross!

I have purchased a cloth liner that covers the cart handles and the seat area completely. It is washable and reusable. I often give them as baby shower gifts.

There is nothing worse than seeing a toddler with their mouth on the cart handles.

This item should be mandatory since Covid 19.

@Carmie Kudo's to you!! ITA, even back in the day before these seat coverings were available, when I took my little ones to the grocery store I used a small afghan for them to sit on. Always tried to block them the best I could from touching the cart. I literally wrapped saran wrap around the cart handle, I know I was a bit much but I was in the dental field and an absolute spaz about infection control, still am.

@tends2dogs ....... True. But by the description of the incident in the OP they are accountable if injury occurred. Hopefully management was notified and pictures taken if necessary. If injured due to negligence then appropriate compensation should be given.

Kids shouldn't be going to the grocery store with mom anyway. I would NEVER be taking my little ones with me into the hot zone (grocery stores)!!

@patbz Ever see them spraying the interior of a plane in hazmat suits? I wonder what that is they are spraying and how dangerous it is to our health. No one seems to ask these questions.

You can't protect people from everything. If they spray for Covid 19 they don't do it correctly and if they don't spray and disinfect they are not doing their job. The next thing you know people will expect the stores to provide them with disposable seat covers.

Something to think about but around here, people stopped taking babies and very young children into grocery stores back in March. Masks are required and little ones either can't wear masks or they won't keep them on. No one would put a child in those carts. It's just the new reality.

You can buy a padded seat cover that fits into the cart...covers the seat and the handle...washable. Best invention ever. I would not take kids of any age into stores and put in a shopping cart seat...always dirty..,and now, who knows? Some of the employees assigned to disinfect the carts don’t do it at all....from what I have personally observed.
